Fantastic story and thanks for sharing. I was not even born yet when Thomson hit the shot heard around the world. As a Dodger fan when I learned about the 1951 season I could not help to feel depressed about such a monumental collapse by my team. As I have grown older, I have learned to admire "The Shot Heard 'Round The World" for it's historical significance in our national pastime. What a great moment it was. If I had a time machine, I would love to go back and live in the early to mid 50's to see what life was like then and relive the ebbs and flows of being a Dodger fan during that era. Also, great gesture on your part to give her the Thomson autographed card.
